+# CrisisPulse MVP: two-adapter blueprint
+
+Overview
+- CrisisPulse is a federated resource orchestration platform for disaster-relief camp networks. This document sketches a production-ready MVP focusing on two adapters (solar microgrid and water purification) and a canonical, offline-first delta-sync workflow.
+
+ MVP Roadmap (6–8 weeks)
+- Phase 0: Core local ledger + delta-sync across 2 camps; implement Merkle proofs for a subset of resource entries.
+- Phase 1: Graph-of-Contracts registry and governance ledger scaffolding; one cross-domain anchoring example.
+- Phase 2: Two domain adapters (solar microgrid, water purification) and two relief partners; demonstrate a joint objective (minimize unmet demand while respecting safety and perishability).
+- Phase 3: HIL validation with a mock camp and field exercise; metrics on latency, data footprint of proofs, and relief delivery quality.
+
+Toy two-adapter MVP spec
+- Adapters
+  - SolarMicrogridAdapter
+    • Exposes LocalResourcePlan (allocation plan for energy) and SharedForecast (demand projection)
+    • API surface (illustrative):
+      - connect() -> bool
+      - get_output_estimate() -> dict
+      - report_allocation(plan_delta) -> dict
+  - WaterPurifierAdapter
+    • Exposes LocalResourcePlan (water treatment capacity) and production metrics
+    • API surface (illustrative):
+      - connect() -> bool
+      - get_production_plan() -> dict
+      - report_allocation(plan_delta) -> dict
+
+Note: In the MVP, adapters communicate via TLS mutual authentication and produce/consume deltas with lightweight cryptographic tagging. The local ledger maintains a delta history, while the governance ledger signs policy changes.
+
+Contracts and data model (sketch)
+- LocalResourcePlan: per-domain allocation plan (e.g., energy, water, food).
+- SharedForecast: cross-domain demand/supply projections.
+- PlanDelta: incremental allocation changes with cryptographic tags.
+- AuditLog: tamper-evident record of changes.
+- PrivacyBudget: per-entry privacy budgets for privacy-preserving aggregation.
+
+Offline-first delta-sync
+- Nodes operate fully offline; when connectivity returns, deterministic reconciliation occurs using Merkle roots and PlanDelta proofs.
+- Data pruning and archival strategies ensure storage remains bounded in real-world deployments.
+
+Governance and privacy
+- GovernanceLog: cryptographically signed events; anchored to a mission/event ID for trusted provenance.
+- SimplePrivacyAggregator: secure aggregation with per-entry budgets and DP-ready placeholders.
+
+Next steps (what I can implement next)
+- Draft toy contracts: LocalResourcePlan, SharedForecast, PlanDelta (structure + signatures).
+- Implement a small demo script showing two adapters exchanging deltas and updating the LocalLedger.
+- Wire a CrisisPolicy DSL fragment to validate plan deltas against basic constraints.
+
+This document is intentionally lightweight and designed to be extended into a full-blown SDK.
